Download or read book MATLAB Implementation of the Steganographic Algorithm F5 written by Wassim Al Chamaa and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2018 in the subject Computer Science - Programming, , language: English, abstract: The F5 algorithm proposed by Westfeld is still one of the most known algorithms in the field of DCT-based steganography. It can make a JPEG image a container of a secret message, where no one knows the presence of the message except the sender and the intended receiver. In this programming work, we show how to realize the F5 algorithm via Matlab. We present the block diagrams of embedding and extracting processes and the entire Matlab code of the F5 algorithm. Some Notes about the F5 Matlab code: 1- The implementation code works according to the method proposed by Andreas Westfield in his paper: " F5—A Steganographic Algorithm : High Capacity Despite Better Steganalysis ". Huffman coding and decoding are implemented using the Matlab JPEG Toolbox developed by Phil Sallee. 2- The two-part Matlab code included in the report, embedding and extracting parts, can be executed in Matlab IDE. The embedding part reads the cover JPEG file and the message file we want to hide, then it creates a Stego JPEG file according to the F5 algorithm. On the other side, The extracting part reads the Stego JPEG file, and then it extracts the hidden message file. 3- The F5 code calls the main two functions of Phil Sallee's Matlab Toolbox; JPEG reading and writing. These functions make it easier to access and manipulate the quantized DCT coefficients of a given JPEG file. Using Sallee's Toolbox should accord with the used operating system, whether it is 32 or 64 bits. 4- The F5 code contains the function to form the image matrix to show the input and output images. Running this function requires ALL the Sallee's Toolbox to be installed. Otherwise, the user can REMOVE this function from the code since it doesn't affect the main F5 process and thus keep ONLY using the main two function of the Sallee's Toolbox. 5- The message file we want to hide can be any file of any kind and whatever its extension. The size of the message file should be appropriate for the size of the used cover JPEG image, so no errors will occur when executed.

Download or read book A Methodology for the Cryptanalysis of Classical Ciphers with Search Metaheuristics written by George Lasry and published by kassel university press GmbH. This book was released on 2018 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cryptography, the art and science of creating secret codes, and cryptanalysis, the art and science of breaking secret codes, underwent a similar and parallel course during history. Both fields evolved from manual encryption methods and manual codebreaking techniques, to cipher machines and codebreaking machines in the first half of the 20th century, and finally to computerbased encryption and cryptanalysis from the second half of the 20th century. However, despite the advent of modern computing technology, some of the more challenging classical cipher systems and machines have not yet been successfully cryptanalyzed. For others, cryptanalytic methods exist, but only for special and advantageous cases, such as when large amounts of ciphertext are available. Starting from the 1990s, local search metaheuristics such as hill climbing, genetic algorithms, and simulated annealing have been employed, and in some cases, successfully, for the cryptanalysis of several classical ciphers. In most cases, however, results were mixed, and the application of such methods rather limited in their scope and performance. In this work, a robust framework and methodology for the cryptanalysis of classical ciphers using local search metaheuristics, mainly hill climbing and simulated annealing, is described. In an extensive set of case studies conducted as part of this research, this new methodology has been validated and demonstrated as highly effective for the cryptanalysis of several challenging cipher systems and machines, which could not be effectively cryptanalyzed before, and with drastic improvements compared to previously published methods. This work also led to the decipherment of original encrypted messages from WWI, and to the solution, for the first time, of several public cryptographic challenges.

It not only details the strength of various encryption algorithms, but also describes their ability to work within the limitations of wireless communication systems. Since some ciphers were not designed for image encryption, the book explains how to modify these ciphers to work for image encryption. It also provides instruction on how to search for other approaches suitable for this task. To make this work comprehensive, the authors explore communication concepts concentrating on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system and present a simplified model for the OFDM communication system with its different implementations. Complete with simulation experiments and MATLAB® codes for most of the simulation experiments, this book will help you gain the understanding required to select the encryption method that best fulfills your application requirements.

Book excerpt: This book presents an interactive Python application designed to showcase the ElGamal encryption algorithm through a user-friendly Tkinter graphical user interface (GUI). At its heart, the application focuses on the three core aspects of ElGamal cryptography: key generation, encryption, and decryption. Users can generate ElGamal keys of varying sizes by specifying the number of bits, and view these keys in multiple formats, including raw integers, hexadecimal, and Base64 encoding. This flexibility facilitates seamless integration of the keys into different systems and applications, making the tool invaluable for both educational purposes and practical implementations. Additionally, the application allows users to encrypt and decrypt data using the generated ElGamal keys, providing a comprehensive demonstration of how this cryptographic scheme secures information. The GUI simplifies the process of managing and visualizing encrypted and decrypted data, helping users understand the effectiveness of ElGamal encryption in maintaining data confidentiality. By combining these functionalities within an intuitive interface, the project not only illustrates key cryptographic concepts but also offers a hands-on approach to learning and applying ElGamal encryption in real-world scenarios. In chapter one, we developed a project which aims to create an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for generating and displaying ElGamal encryption keys using the Tkinter library. Users can specify the number of bits for key generation and view the keys in multiple formats, including raw integers, hexadecimal, and Base64 encoding. This flexibility ensures compatibility with various systems and applications, making it easier for users to integrate and verify cryptographic keys. The application features a tabbed interface that organizes the key generation process. Users can enter the desired key size in one tab and generate the keys with a button click. The keys are then displayed in separate tabs according to their format. This structured approach simplifies the comparison and verification of keys in different representations, enhancing the usability and effectiveness of the key management process. In chapter two, the fifth project integrates ElGamal encryption and decryption techniques into a user-friendly application for securing sensitive data, such as credit card numbers and transaction details. The application generates synthetic datasets to demonstrate these cryptographic methods in action, allowing users to create keys, encrypt data, and decrypt it to verify integrity and confidentiality.Built with Tkinter, the application provides an interactive experience with an intuitive graphical interface.

This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock the secrets of modern cryptography explored in this book, a comprehensive guide that takes you from the fundamentals to advanced applications in encryption, decryption, and digital signatures. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this book offers hands-on examples, real-world scenarios, and detailed explanations that make complex concepts accessible and engaging. Dive into the world of RSA, as you learn to build secure systems and protect sensitive information with confidence. Perfect for anyone looking to master the art of cryptography, this book is your key to the future of digital security. In chapter one, we implemented RSA key generation within a Tkinter-based GUI application. This example was designed to be user-friendly, allowing users to generate RSA keys with a simple button click. The process involved generating a private key and a corresponding public key, which were then displayed within a text widget for easy copying and saving. This example demonstrated the ease with which RSA keys can be generated programmatically, making cryptography more accessible to users who may not be familiar with command-line interfaces. In chapter two, we embarked on a journey to create a sophisticated RSA encryption and decryption project. We began by constructing a comprehensive Tkinter-based GUI application that allows users to generate RSA key pairs, create and sign transactions, verify signatures, and securely store transactions. The initial focus was on setting up the graphical user interface, with multiple tabs dedicated to different functionalities, ensuring that the application was both user-friendly and feature-rich. The core functionality of the application revolves around RSA key generation, transaction creation, and digital signing. The RSA keys are generated using the cryptography library, and users can generate private and public keys, which are then displayed in the application. This setup forms the foundation for securely signing transactions. The transaction creation process involves entering details like the sender, receiver, amount, and currency, after which the transaction data is signed using the private key, producing a digital signature. This digital signature ensures the authenticity and integrity of the transaction, preventing any tampering or forgery. Once transactions are signed, they can be stored in a secure manner. The application allows users to save these transactions, along with their digital signatures, in a JSON file, providing a permanent and verifiable record. This storage mechanism is crucial for maintaining the integrity of financial transactions or any sensitive data, as it ensures that each transaction is accompanied by a corresponding signature and public key, enabling later verification. The verification process is another key component of the project. The application retrieves stored transactions and verifies the digital signature against the stored public key. This process ensures that the transaction has not been altered since it was signed, confirming its authenticity. The verification feature is critical in real-world applications, where data integrity and authenticity are paramount, such as in financial systems, legal documents, or secure communications. Throughout the chapter, the project was designed with a strong emphasis on real-world applicability, robustness, and security. The example provided not only serves as a practical guide for implementing RSA encryption and decryption with digital signatures but also highlights the importance of secure key management, transaction integrity, and data authenticity in modern cryptographic applications. This project demonstrates the power of RSA in securing sensitive data and transactions in a user-friendly and accessible way, making it an essential tool for developers working with encryption in real-world scenarios. In chapter three, we some projects focused on RSA digital signatures, delving into the creation of synthetic datasets, key generation, data signing, and verification processes. The project’s primary objective is to demonstrate how RSA digital signatures can be applied in a real-world scenario by securely signing and verifying user data. This example uses a synthetic dataset of user information, including user IDs, names, emails, and registration dates, to illustrate the practical implementation of RSA cryptography. The project begins with generating RSA keys using the generate_rsa_keys function. This function creates a pair of keys: a private key used for signing data and a public key for verifying the signature. These keys are essential for the RSA cryptographic process, where the private key ensures that the data remains authentic and unaltered, while the public key is used to verify the authenticity of the signed data. The keys are serialized into PEM format, a widely-used encoding standard that facilitates the secure storage and transmission of cryptographic keys. Next, a synthetic user dataset is generated using the create_synthetic_user_dataset function. This dataset comprises a specified number of user records, each containing a unique user ID, name, email address, and registration date. The purpose of this synthetic data is to simulate a realistic environment where user information needs to be securely signed and verified. By using a synthetic dataset, we ensure that the example remains versatile and adaptable to various scenarios without relying on actual sensitive information. Once the dataset is generated, the sign_data function is employed to sign each user's data using the RSA private key. This process involves creating a digital signature for each record, ensuring that any alteration to the data after signing would invalidate the signature. The digital signature serves as a cryptographic proof of the data’s integrity and authenticity, providing a robust mechanism to detect tampering or unauthorized modifications. The signatures are then stored alongside the user data for subsequent verification. Finally, the project includes a mechanism for storing the signed data and public key in a JSON file, and a function for retrieving and verifying the data. The store_user_data function saves the user data, corresponding signatures, and the public key to a file, allowing for secure storage and later retrieval. The retrieve_and_verify_user_data function reads the stored data, verifies each signature using the public key, and confirms whether the data remains unaltered. This final step completes the demonstration of how RSA digital signatures can be effectively used to secure user data, making it a comprehensive example for those learning about cryptographic techniques in real-world applications.

This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to the development of a sophisticated and feature-rich Tkinter GUI that leverages Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for various cryptographic operations, including key generation, encryption, decryption, signing, and verifying data. The primary goal is to create an interactive application that allows users to perform these operations on synthetic financial data, demonstrating the practical use of ECC in securing sensitive information. The GUI is meticulously designed with multiple tabs, each corresponding to a different cryptographic function, enabling users to navigate through key generation, data encryption/decryption, and digital signature processes seamlessly. The GUI starts with the key generation tab, where users can generate ECC key pairs. These key pairs are essential for the subsequent encryption and signing operations. The GUI provides feedback on the generated keys, displaying the public and private keys in hexadecimal format. This feature is crucial for understanding the foundational role of ECC in modern cryptography, where small key sizes provide strong security. The key generation process also highlights the advantages of ECC over traditional RSA, particularly in terms of efficiency and security per bit length. In the encryption and decryption tab, the GUI enables users to encrypt synthetic financial data using the previously generated ECC keys. The encryption process is performed using AES in Cipher Feedback (CFB) mode, with the AES key derived from the ECC private key through key derivation functions. This setup showcases the hybrid approach where ECC is used for key exchange or key derivation, and AES is employed for the actual encryption of data. The GUI displays the generated ciphertext in a hexadecimal format, along with the Initialization Vector (IV) used in the encryption process, providing a clear view of how the encrypted data is structured. The signing and verifying tab demonstrates the use of ECC for digital signatures. Here, users can sign the synthetic financial data using the ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm), a widely recognized algorithm for ensuring data integrity and authenticity. The GUI displays the generated digital signature in hexadecimal format, offering insights into how ECC is applied in real-world scenarios like secure messaging and digital certificates. The verification process, where the signature is checked against the original data using the ECC public key, is also integrated into the GUI, emphasizing the importance of digital signatures in verifying data authenticity. The synthetic financial data used in these operations is generated within the GUI, simulating transaction records that include fields such as transaction ID, account number, amount, currency, timestamp, and transaction type. This dataset is crucial for demonstrating the encryption and signing processes in a context that mirrors real-world financial systems. By encrypting and signing this data, users can understand how ECC can be applied to protect sensitive information in financial transactions, ensuring both confidentiality and integrity. Finally, the GUI’s design incorporates user-friendly elements such as scrolled text widgets for displaying long hexadecimal outputs, entry fields for user inputs, and clear labels for guiding the user through each cryptographic operation. The application provides a comprehensive and interactive learning experience, allowing users to explore the intricacies of ECC in a controlled environment. By integrating ECC with AES for encryption and ECDSA for signing, the GUI offers a practical demonstration of how modern cryptographic techniques can be combined to secure data, making it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to understand or teach the principles of ECC-based cryptography.
